see toronto should look at my citys history - chicago. the past 10 years, chicago has been well known for black on black killings, spanish vs spanish, black vs spanish, everybody vs everybody, everybody every gang, is ABK EBK. So if you look at how our mayor's decision, of pumping money into rich and middle class area, ignoring the ghettos and areas that are drugs n gangs are what the young kids are facing. Toronto its on its way to making the same mistakes and must change now for better future
